Crypto Winter Warning: More and More People Are Getting Arrested for Selling U, Don't Take It Lightly!
Recently, many friends have asked me about being taken away by the police for buying and selling USDT (U), and even some who trade on major platforms have had issues.
Honestly, I feel that the crypto winter is really coming.
Why do I say that?
Now, as long as the money you receive from selling U is not clean (for example, from scams, gambling, or money laundering), even if you don’t know the source of the funds, you become part of that illegal money chain and could be investigated at any time.
The most troublesome part is: police attitudes vary greatly across regions!
- Lenient areas: Believe that selling U itself is not illegal, as long as you are unaware and the price is normal, they will basically let you go after questioning.
- Strict areas: Directly consider selling U as illegal, and without verifying the buyer and the source of the money, they assume you “should know” there’s a problem, making it hard to escape.
- The harshest areas: Charge you directly with “illegal business operation” (a disguised form of foreign exchange trading), and for large amounts, they will initiate criminal proceedings.
To sum up:
There is no unified legal standard now; it all depends on local enforcement. You might be fine trading in one province, but get caught in another.
Key reminder:
The current trend is that as soon as virtual currency and illegal money are involved, the police will first target those selling U! Policies are tightening, and law enforcement is becoming more strict.
Everyone, be cautious in your transactions. Don’t risk yourself just for a small fee!
